Something new, 5 days a week.

So I’m pretty caught up with work for clients now and have turned my attention to the holidays. With Christmas in my subconscious as I began browsing through material from the recent NM trip I noticed there were some images in there that didn’t exactly have a holiday theme but certainly were strong in the dominant colors associated with Christmas. Here are a few of them.

I like the way that this image of a rainy field actually looks more like there is snow in the field than rain. Flat light, low-angle perspective, limited depth of field, raindrops on the front of the lens, and fog on the lens from my breath all contributed to the dreamy appearance of this image. This is one that I recommend you click on to see it a little bigger and get a better feel for the look of it.

I discovered a few old bones scattered about in the woods and I liked the fact that this one was covered with moss and lichens and also had some small ferns sprouting from it. Life after death and such.

I love being out in the rain with a camera and while on my shoot on Sunday I had plenty of free time between the sporadic action to amuse myself and shoot some personal work. Trees are a favorite subject of mine and these gnarly old oaks looked terrific in the rain.

I spent a few hours shooting at this spot on a ranch in the rain yesterday. This cracker cow was where I needed to be and made it obvious that I wasn’t welcome. I refused to give up my spot and decided to be assertive, making the cow my subject for a few shots. When the cow realized that I would not be intimidated we arrived at a sort of truce. I stayed there shooting and the cow returned every so often to moo loudly and glare at me.

If you look close enough at simple things it often turns out that they are complex in nature. But of course if you step back far enough from the complex things they can look quite simple. Photography with a dose of philosophy. Granted, it’s awfully simplistic philosophy but as I was saying…

Going to bed & it's only 12:30. Can't remember the last time I hit the sack so early. Gotta get up at 4 to take care of some personal stuff. 7 years ago

Just came back inside the house. Was out in the cold getting a stiff neck watching the meteor shower. Mother Nature put on a good show! 7 years ago

Welcome to my photo journal

I have been posting photos on the Internet on a daily basis, 5 days a week for over 5 years. This is where I typically post examples of my personal work or particularly interesting images from commissioned shoots. Almost all work that I post is available for purchase as an art print or may be licensed for commercial use or publication. Feel free to contact me with any requests.
